Runtime yes power depends on c rating and if your current barriers are not putting out enough .

Hotrod is right. If you want more power you will need higher C rated packs, assuming the reported C rating specs are truthfully given by the manufacturer.

+1 on Hotrods post. Getting into the higher mAh, recommend keeping an eye on motor/esc temps during longer run times.
